Three Tanzanians, including two women, were arrested today by the Rachakonda Police for allegedly operating a flesh trade racket by procuring women.
The women, aged 23 and 25, were arrested along with their 25-year-old male compatriot after a police team raided a rented house in Hastinapuri area, Special Operation Team Inspector G Naveen Kumar said.
"The trio are organisers and were arranging women for prostitution. Apart from this, the two women themselves were also indulged in prostitution," the inspector said.
